Victimizer

The first full-length from Copenhagen-based producer Mikkel Metal (aka Mikkel Meldgaard). The tracklist comprises seven previously-unreleased tracks plus three tracks previously released on Kompakt. The CD is backed up by a 12" vinyl release containing four of the new tracks. Mikkel Metal has always refused to force himself on the listener, he would rather act as a commentator on what can occur from a higher state of conscience, without provoking any sort of superiority complex. Arrogance is not his thing. Victimizer is his self-invented expression, giving new meaning to the proverb "the more haste, the less speed." Pay heed and be prepared to be bewildered as to where one should categorize this release -- though Victimizer inspires from the fringes of dub, indie-rock, vocoder-pop and of course minimal techno, this album isn't so simple as to pigeonhole itself in your encyclopedia of genres. Genuinely, Mikkel Metal has delivered dynamic, universal music that once again showcases the progressive growth and depth in Kompakt's blossoming family.
